Importing TWAIN images
If your scanner or digital camera provides TWAIN support, you can import
pictures directly into PagePlus using the TWAIN standard. Or, save the scanned
image separately and then import into PagePlus.
To set up your TWAIN device for importing:
• See the documentation supplied with your scanner for operating
instructions.
To import a scanned image:
• Choose Picture... from the Insert menu, then select TWAIN and
Acquire... from the submenu to open a file selection dialog.
If you have more than one TWAIN-compatible device installed, you may need
to select which source you wish to scan with.
To select a different TWAIN source for scanning:
1. Choose Picture... from the Insert menu, then select TWAIN and
Select Source from the submenu.
2. Identify the device you want to use as your TWAIN source.
Suggestions for image scanning
First the tips... then the theory!
• As a general rule, the optimal scanning resolution for print work (in
dpi) is about one-third the dots-per-inch setting (i.e. twice the resultant
lines per inch) on the printer or other device that will be used. If you're
printing at 600dpi, then 200 dpi scanning is fine.
• For line art and halftone images, save as a black-and-white TIFF,
PCX, or GIF.
